I hate to sound like a commercial for Gillin Law, but I have never had an attorney that says what…read morethey will do, and then really do what they say. Brandon and his assistant Alisha did a wonderful job representing us for my wife's Green Card application. Note to anyone in the Chinese community that reads this: Brandon is fluent in Mandarin which is very rare for lao wai, and the staff are all native Mandarin speakers. If you want your immigration documents prepared accurately and in a very timely manner, please use Gillin Law. The Green Card application is often refused for small errors, and you will never have this problem with Brandon. Their rates are very reasonable, and you can relax knowing that your application will proceed without delays and returns. Those who represent themselves have a fool for an attorney!

I hired Beresford Booth at the start of the year to assist with handling a dispute with a…read morecontractor who was not making satisfactory progress on a home project. Beresford's lawyers Mr. Babak Shamsi and Mr. Caleb Tingstad listened to my concerns, laid out possible options for me to take, and contextualized how each of those options might play out. They were professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They understood that this dispute was causing stress in my life, and that informed our mutual decision to drive this through a straightforward settlement rather than costly and time-consuming litigation. Their firm drafted the settlement documents and acted as the trusted intermediary for the contractor to refund my payments. Now, looking back on this several months later, I remain confident this was the correct decision. I am very grateful to Mr. Shamsi and Mr. Tingstad for valuing me as a person and for finding a resolution that worked for my circumstances. I would definitely consider Beresford Booth again for any future needs.

I retained this firm for a paid second opinion and paid a $3,900 retainer. My expectation was that…read morethe attorney I initially consulted would personally engage with the core issues I raised, particularly tort-based reliance and misrepresentation. Instead, the matter was largely handled by another attorney, and the analysis I received focused heavily on buyer-awareness/Form 17 issues rather than the reliance framework I had specifically asked to be reviewed. I was also disappointed by the billing, including time recorded before I had signed the engagement agreement, which I disputed. Overall, I did not feel the service matched my expectations for a paid second opinion, and I would encourage future clients to confirm in writing who will actually perform the analysis, what issues will be addressed, and whether any pre-engagement time will be billed.

In brief: 1) Takes cash via Zelle: $350 to do a Pay & Vacate, $1500 to for commercial eviction case to proceed (questionable?) 2) Voicemail states he does not listen to or return voicemails 3) Picks up no calls after receiving payment with 2 exceptions: You call with a different number or you threaten to file a complaint with the Washington State Bar. 4) Despite the threat of filing a complaint, six days afterwards, he still was too busy to provide evidence that a Pay & Vacate Notice has been even delivered. 5) Creative line of excuses: migraines, sister was in town, holidays, a blown tire. Since working with Mr. Dabling, our tenant has stayed in our commercial property continuing business and using utilities for an additional 4 months because we still haven't achieved the legal right to lock them out. I found him on Avvo, and yes, I did confirm his active business license first. Our household has worked with NUMEROUS attorneys over the years in various specialties. We are reasonable and know what to expect, how payment works, how long evictions or other cases usually take, and Mr. Dabling is the worst we have ever come across. We would not have worked with him if our previous eviction attorney that we stayed with for 20 years hadn't retired. Mr. Dabling is unprofessional, unreliable, and everything that is concerning about working with an attorney. My goal for this review is to protect others from his lack of services.

In November 2021, I visited his office to get copies of some of the documentation from the 2017 case. While waiting for the copies to be presented to me I quietly paced in the lobby. Within minutes Michael Jacobs himself stormed down from his office to ask me what I needed. When I told him that I was waiting for copies of my paperwork he told me to sit down. I told him that I was fine standing and that I would be leaving shortly (as soon as I got the copies, which I was told would be ready in a few minutes). He aggressively told me again to sit down. This encounter made me extremely uncomfortable. I regret working with this firm and cannot believe how poorly they treated me, their customer (who paid their office $5K for their mediocre services). If I could choose zero stars I would.
